I couldn’t answer about the coconut milk. specifically, you mean the thick opaque milk, right not coconut water?
it’s specifically swishing around the coconut oil for 5 to 15 minutes everyday that people say leaches out the yellow color, but I haven’t heard anything about the cumulative effect of long-term coconut milk drinking.
I’ll add that most YouTube dentists say that oil pulling doesn’t work, but they all specifically mention that it can’t work because there are not enough scientific studies on it, which isn’t a great argument.
and after meeting a few people who have done it and seeing their teeth gradually whiten to movie-star white, plus my own very debatable one shade whiter after a couple months, I’m convinced that it does work on some level.
especially because the people I know are hippies who would never go to the dentist or whatever, so I doubt they got their teeth whitened artificially.
you don’t have to use a lot, like 1 tbsp is fine, and then you just swish it around.
it’ll be pretty difficult to keep tge oil inside your mouth while brushing, but I don’t see why you can’t try it out, who knows?
since there aren’t a lot of scientific studies, there aren’t a lot of dogmatically proven methods, so you could be the first!
in fact, if it works, tell me, because I am going to start oil pulling again because I was very encouraged by the results and after the first couple times it doesn’t even feel that gross, it’s just a routine thing like brushing your teeth in the morning.
and I was kind of lacking days ago about it, so I think I’m going to do mornings and evenings and just try and really see a difference.
No way? Does coconut cream/milk contain a reasonable amount of coconut oil or must it be regular coconut oil to get the benefit?
I drink this shit regularly, like a substantial amount daily

Awesome! This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever learned! Imma start swishing (do we swish or fill the mouth with it?
edit: what if i keep it in my mouth WHILE brushing (coconut oil)?

Is MCT oil equivalent?
